CITRIS Research Exchange Seminar with Wesley Valdes

REGISTER TO ATTEND

About the speaker: 

Dr. Valdes is coming on board at UC Davis Health to fill a role as the Principal Architect for Digital Health and as the Medical Director for Outpatient Telehealth Services. Dr. Valdes is an internal medicine physician trained in treating chronic wounds and tissue repair and will staff the new outpatient chronic wound clinic. Dr. Valdes enjoys watching trends in the tech industry and is constantly looking for ways to bring successful solutions into the delivery of healthcare services. His focus is on the workflow of healthcare service delivery with attention to the patient’s viewpoint of that experience. Dr. Valdes has been asked to be the medical director for the UC-Davis Digital Health Resource Center which is intended to be a catalogue of services to help ideas from both internal and external groups down their path of development. The Digital Health Resource Center will support sandbox IT environments that allow demonstration and testing of pre-production applications and concepts, provide educational programs to prepare startups and companies to better collaborate within the highly regulated healthcare enterprise level facilities, and work in tandem with other support services in the Center for Health Technology at UC Davis which include clinical virtual simulation labs, telehealth operations, and research support staff.
